Well obviously I kind of haven't done the Christmas prezzies post yet of the two dolls my sister and I received... sorry! We are still away, so it is difficult to motivate myself while on vacation. ;-) Also, I have spent too much time going onto AG Playthings and looking at the newest news and not blogging. Heehee.
American Girl has released new historical outfits and some new MyAG stuff as of this week. Kanani's collection has appeared in catalogs already. And AG will have 25th Birthday mini dolls in holiday outfits. Also there will be a 25th Birthday AG Cruise at Thanksgiving time in 2011. Don't know about you guys, but we kind of have to be at Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving....hhrrmmpphh. So we won't be going on that. Especially since we are going to Florida a couple weeks before that. Oh well. C'est la vie.
So if you want to see pics and know more info about the above schtuff, AG Playthings has the scoop as well as some of the blogs we list in the sidebar below. We don't have pics here for y'all. :-(
But we do have polls! We actually like Kanani and most of her collection-- despite the obvious appearances of pink here and there. But we want to know what you guys think.... so we have two polls in the sidebar. The first is for your fav Kanani item and the second is for your Kanani dolly plans. Feel free to vote! We'd love to know what you guys think. And feel free to comment as well!
We personally plan on getting her entire collection before 2011 is up. But that Shave Ice Stand really can't stay pink like that... it will have to undergo some modificiations. And we are even thinking of getting an extra Kanani doll to customize, maybe with different color eyes and a different wig... but that will come later...
But on the immediate buy list is that doggy! Yay, he is awesome! He looks just like our old doggy who passed away in 2006. :'-( It will be cool to have an AG version of him.
So what do you guys think? Is Kanani a win or a meh? Are you planning on getting anything from her collection?

Crazy Christmas Tradition
Merry Christmas! (One day late...) So these pics below are not dolly-related, but we will put it on the main page because it is holiday-ish. ;-)
Sorry we haven't been posting much-- with holiday traveling and family activities, we ran out of blogging time. But, in case you have been living under a rock (wink wink), leaked photos of Kanani, her schtuff, and some new 2011 historical schtuff is available through Youtube videos. We didn't post about them here, just to be safe (don't want to get in trouble). Although AG probably leaked its own pictures to create some buzz, haha. That way people see all this cool new stuff before Christmas and they know to save their gift money for AG stuff in 2011. Just a theory though....
It was nice to see Kanani and some of her things. We are excited to buy her. She looks very pretty and unique. Is anyone else planning on getting her?
Okay, now on to the Crazy Christmas Tradition 2010. This year for the tiny animals diorama we made "A Christmas Story"--- that silly movie with Ralphie, a BB gun, and a leg lamp. If you haven't seen it, we highly recommend a viewing. It is a classic Christmas film.
So here are some pictures of our diorama...Initially we'll show you some highlights and then we'll put in some slideshows below those...First: a complete shot of the countertop... it starts with Randy stuck in the snow in his snowsuit on the far left, Flick stuck to the flagpole, the shopping district and toy section of the department store, Santa's mountain in the department store, Ralphie's house, and then the Chinese restaurant where they have Christmas dinner...
Highlight: Randy stuck in the snow...
Highlight: Flick stuck to the flagpole... (he puts his tongue on a metal surface in the cold on a triple-dog dare--- a bad idea)...
Highlight: Ralphie in his pink bunny suit--- a gift from a relative...
On the box below the counter is the scene where "The Old Man" changes the car tire and Ralphie helps him (it ends badly)...
Outside of the Higbee's Department store, the prized BB gun in the window, inside of the Department store toy section, cashier and customers, Santa's Mountain, and Ralphie waiting to see Santa...
Ralphie's House, the Bumpus Hounds gathering to eat the Christmas turkey, Ralphie in the bunny suit, the Old Man opening his leg lamp prize, Ma in the kitchen preparing Christmas dinner...
The Chinese Restaurant, Chop Suey Palace Co., where they go for Christmas dinner after the Bumpus Hounds eat their turkey...
Hope you liked our Christmas diorama pictures! You can look forward to another post right around the corner of some little dollies that my sister and I got for Christmas! Oooo, exciting!

Winter Project Idea 2.0 and More Stuff
Okay, we couldn't fit everybody into the pics in the last Winter Project post... so here are the final two iron-on project tees that we made. Kaya is wearing the heart iron-on and Elizabeth is modeling the rhinestone iron-on. The white gathered sleeve tees are from the Liberty Jane online store. Ignore the shiny spots on Kaya's tee-- it was like the owl iron-on and reflected a lot of the flash. Again, you can make white tees from the trendy tee free pattern pretty easily. Penny's Mom has made several of them from old tees. So you don't necessarily need to buy the tees from LJ if you don't have the $$.
Kaya is wearing a Liberty Jane mini skirt and she is posing with her new Brianna doll I got her for Christmas. In her slideshow you can see the back of the Ty box and the other L'il Ones available. They are usually less than $6 on Amazon.
Sun Ji joined the group to show off her uber-trendy jean dress from Liberty Jane. Anybody remember which outfit this is from? Heehee... Her fancy knitted scarf and awesome sheer leggings are from Etsy seller SuzyMStudio.
Elizabeth is shown with a black beret from Etsy seller SewCrazyArmyWife and the polka dot bubble skirt from one of the Liberty Jane outfits... remember which one??? And next to her feet is a doggie and carrier bag that we found in the airport. We just love the holiday theme of this quilted bag. So cute!
If you want to learn how we did these iron-ons check out yesterday's post. It really just involves a hot, hot iron and some tissue paper. Oh and we pressed down on each side multiple times because we were nervous about things sticking well. We probably over-ironed them. But eh, it seemed to have worked...
